not sure if correct but i am trying to add more body to the swing instead of all arma. this is the drill i am using and please feel free to coment. i try to imagine getting to the top of my swing and pretend that there is pole going through my hands and into my RIGHT SHOULDER. in order for my hands to start down my right shoulder must start down with it in sequence, it makes me feel like the arms are synchronizing with my right shoulder as long as my right shoulder goes down towards the ball like my hands. . check this out, thing of beauty.

Was actually working on something similar with someone I met yesterday. We basically worked on very simple connection/disconnection type drill that I made up on the spot. Problem was that he started off his takeaway with his hands which led to a series of other compensations. We had him grip a club almost halfway down so that the clubhead was basically imbedded in his stomach. We then had him turn his upper torso away in one piece which led to a disconnection when he began to hinge, a reconnection as he commenced his downswing with his lower body and a much straighter ballflight thereafter.

    • updated swing notes Setup - Same stuff. Good posture, weight in balls of feet, engage lower body more.  Backswing - Same stuff, hinge fully by P2 by using wrists. LBift left arm straight up to top of backswing. Control swing length, though it is way better. *Always a reminder 😊  Downswing - More of starting the downswing with lower body rotation. Getting the right hip rotating out towards the ball and around me, and the left hip goes back away from the ball and back around me. Straighten left leg as soon as possible. Still a bit of a struggle to do this.  Still the hand path and club going down behind me, feels like the right arm stays really wide and gets wider.  Though, I don't think I have poor hip flexor mobility. I stretch and move the crap out of them almost on a daily basis. It is part of my daily mobility routine for the past year.  This position is kind of wonky looking 🤣.  When I took my swing to that position and feel like I really sink my weight to the outside part of my left heel while extending the left hip more. I felt a big resistance from this area in the leg (sorry that is the right leg, blame Google). I was like, WTF! 🤣 Yea, more stretching may be needed. I wonder if I am avoiding that movement.
